Your right, my point is circular.  I really must proof read stuff before I
send it out :)  What I meant to say is that you can just grab the spec from
and older version of the package, and easily update it to work with the
newest ones.  There are extremely few packages that don't have _any_ RPMS
for _any_ versions of the package for _any_ distro.
